Hi
This is my first post, I’ve been reading about machining here for some time and have gotten a lot of help from all the threads on this forum. I just bought an Excello 602 at an auction, this was to replace my Dayton round column mill( Ring Fu 31 knockoff).
I did find that there is very little and often conflicting information on the Excello mills, so I figured I would share some of the things I’m doing to repair the 602 I picked up a few weeks ago.
I feel I got pretty lucky with finding this mill at a super cheap price. From what I can tell( I’m a mechanic not a machinist….yet) this machine is in pretty good shape.
This video is on belt replacement, hope it helps others so that they aren’t blindly trying to figure it out themselves as I did.
